I have been blessed many times over, to come a play music, fiddle, mandolin, banjo and/or guitar, for folks in the finals stages of life this side of heaven. I can tell you it's a true "where-the-rubber-meets-the-road" sort of experience and enlightenment experience. When we learned many of these songs, as kids - or as adult-kids, (aren't we all a little of both, still?), there was an anointing, a special grace of blessing on many of these traditional hymns and well, songs-of-comfort. Those songs still bring us a level of healing, nurturing, peace, calmness, belonging, remembering and a sense of comfort. Obviously, not able to include all of them here, I have chosen several that always seems to comfort folks in their hours of need; or final hours period. Several of the original songs were born out of these sorts of experiences; me fiddlin', God nurturing them through the music they remember and me getting an enlightenment that would stay with me forever. As folks would say thank you for coming, or for playing music, I often felt like (and did) say thank you to them. As God taught me something about every one of those experiences and I left the room, the home, the hospital, the hospice facility, a richer, more-fulfilled and more-enlightened fellow traveler. The last song on the CD is from a live performance at my brother and I's high school auditorium. Complete with kids crying, parent chiding kids to "get over here, stop that, come here"....to my deceased-middle-brother's-laugh....easy to hear, comforting to remember that night. I pray you will be blessed as we, I, have been. Songs are: 7 vocals and 7 instrumentals
